Scientists at the University Medical Center and the University of Göttingen have developed a new approach to keep intact heart tissue for about two weeks in culture for more efficient cardiotoxicity screening of new active substances and therapeutic approaches. The advantage: this method is already effective in a very early

How mysterious structures in the egg cell supply the early embryo as protein storage sites When mammals have offspring, they invest a lot. Unlike fish or frogs, the embryo cannot develop on its own. It has to implant in the uterus, where it is supplied with everything it needs to
